Automotive EMC compliance testing

Keep ahead of the revolution in car electronics with the market leaders in EMC

Vehicles are undergoing two revolutions at the same time: The development of Autonomous Driving (AD) and the emergence of Electric Vehicles (EV). Both are causing major changes to automotive EMC test standards such as increase in frequencies to 18GHz, and field strenghts up to 600V/m. Rohde & Schwarz’s unrivalled EMC expertise ensures we provide you with market-leading test instruments, software and customized systems covering the latest developments in automotive standards and technology.

Your automotive EMC challenges:

As part of homologation, execute regulatory tests according to UN ECE R10 and keep up with the latest EMC standards, for example CISPR, ISO, SAE, GB/T or OEM-specific, particularly for electric vehicles and advanced radar.
Automated tests in various active driving conditions (dynamic scenarios) need to be supported, e.g. recuperation.
Take account of new semiconductor technologies such as SiC with far higher switching speeds and steep rising edges which greatly increase the likelihood of spurious emissions.
Ensure maximum utilization of test resources, for example re-use EMC test equipment for ADAS functional test.
Increasing integration of wireless technologies into vehicles create a dense radio environment, vulnerable to coexistence issues.

Wolfram Titze, Product Manager, Broadcast and Amplifier Solutions

“Due to the rapid development of electromobility and the generally growing number of connected electronic components in the car, electromagnetic susceptibility tests play an important role in the automotive industry. Successful tests guarantee reliable operation of the vehicle in an increasingly challenging electromagnetic environment. High power broadband amplifiers from R&S play an essential role in the test system set-up of our customers to meet current and future test challenges of their industry”

Jens Medler, Product Manager, EMC and Antenna Test

EMC is all about standards. We currently see many changes in automotive EMC standards for addressing the electromagnetic compatibility of electric vehicles and electric hybrid vehicles such as the charging mode and the integration of vehicles in a connected world. Enforcement of strict EMC limits can delay product certification, leading to lost revenue, added cost, and redesign headaches. R&S EMI Test Receivers and EMC test solutions determine the causes and effects of electromagnetic interference and ensure compliance with the relevant EMC standard.
